“I am deeply honored to join the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University, a place of outstanding research and teaching. I feel so at home among colleagues who share my intellectual curiosity and look forward to an even closer relationship with such an extraordinary group,” says Professor Gabriel Lenz. 

The next five years, he will be affiliated as an honorary professor at the Department of Political Science at Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University.

“I am very pleased that Gabriel Lenz is joining us as an honorary professor. His research on opinion formation and political behaviour aligns closely with the areas many at the department work on, and I see a strong academic fit. We hope that his affiliation will further strengthen the ties between the Department of Political Science and UC Berkeley, while also offering especially our early-career researchers new opportunities for feedback, collaboration, and international networking,” says Christoffer Green-Pedersen, head of the Department of Political Science.

Gabriel Lenz is a professor of political science at the University of California, Berkeley. He studies democratic accountability, focusing on how to help voters hold their politicians accountable and how governments can protect people from violence and incarceration.
